Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the load capacity and material of the MO 121008-2 swivel caster assembly?
A: The MO 121008-2 is a swivel caster assembly constructed with phenolic wheels. Phenolic wheels are rigid thermoset plastic materials with high resistance to abrasion and impact, making them suitable for general warehouse and electric lift truck applications. Verify the load rating with your equipment specifications before ordering.
Q: Which electric lift truck models is the MO 121008-2 compatible with?
A: This swivel caster assembly fits various electric lift truck models from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Nichiyu, and similar brands. Confirm the mounting pattern and thread specifications match your equipment before purchase.
Q: What are the durability characteristics of phenolic wheels?
A: Phenolic wheels offer good impact resistance and maintain their shape under sustained loads. They perform well in dry indoor environments but can wear faster in wet or oily conditions compared to polyurethane compounds. Expected lifespan depends on load cycles and floor conditions.
Q: When should the MO 121008-2 swivel caster be replaced?
A: Replace this assembly when you notice excessive wheel wear, flat spots on the wheel, swivel binding, or unusual noise during operation. Worn casters reduce steering control and increase operator effort.
Q: What maintenance is required for the swivel mechanism?
A: Keep the swivel bearing lubricated according to your equipment manual. Inspect the swivel joint periodically for corrosion or debris that may restrict movement. Clean around the swivel base to prevent dirt accumulation.
